Abstract

See full text

A liquefied natural gas facility employing a heavies removal column having multiple reflux streams. The reflux streams can have different compositions and can be operable to reduce the critical pressure of the fluids within the heavies removal column in order to permit the column to operate at higher pressures without adversely affecting the horsepower requirements of plant compressor/driver systems.
